Very generally speaking, yes. But remember each individual snake is different.

Different habitats, different predators, different prey, plus a million other things..

Different location, different environmental situations evolving a different attitude

I have 3 locality pure QLD waters and 1 NT x QLD water, (all as sweet as can be and the NT x one is the sookiest) that have already, for me debunked the myth that Water Pythons are nasty.
Now I am looking for a pair of locality pure NT waters to help me debunk the myth that NT waters are nastier than QLD's.

I have both NT and Qld water pythons, they are all quiet and not aggressive, just a different personality for each python.
They are the first snakes that I get out of their enclosures to show any visitors.

yes of co**** they come from different areas and have diferent surroundings but they are the same thing it not a different sub species in my opinion it comes down to the individual snake you could catch ten from NT and they could be calm as and you could catch ten from QLD and they could be bitty

Don't QLD waters have a yellow belly, NT waters have a white belly. So not totally the same? I have heard that generally NT waters are more aggressive than QLD waters, i think the latest Reptiles Australia Magazine mentions it (Simon Stone) I guess there will always be different individuals within the species.

Look at the Stimmies, thay have such a huge range of colours/patterns dependent on their locale. Why is it so hard to believe that some populations may, generally speaking, be more or less aggressive than another population? If colours, patterns, size etc can vary, why not aggressiveness? Quote:
